Water is starting to be scarce even in some higher points of Imperia, starting from corso Roosevelt or via Cason della Guardia. The meeting was chaired by the President of the Province Claudio Scajola.

For structural interventions, by 26 August Rivieracqua will start the tender for the construction of the new Roja aqueduct in the Imperia, Diano and Andora sections.

In this context, the use of the new pipeline already positioned by the Municipality of Imperia under the disused railway site is envisaged.
